The Epstein and Van Voorhis (2001) interactive homework approach is designed specifically to increase family-school connections and improve communication between parents and teachers. Galassi and Akos (2012) suggest a career exploration program, Bemak & Cornely (2002) suggest a counseling program, and Trusty et al. (2008) suggest a school-to-home program, but none of these interventions directly focus on increasing family-school connections in the same way as Epstein and Van Voorhis' approach.
